Description

Super-hydrophobic nanofiber composite membrane for membrane distillation and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a super-hydrophobic nanofiber composite membrane with a honeycomb structure and prepared by depositing low-surface-energy polyolefin by a vacuum-assisted suction filtration method for membrane distillation and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of material engineering.
Background
The pollution and shortage of water resources are the problems generally faced by the present society, the membrane separation technology has been widely applied in the fields of seawater desalination, wastewater treatment and the like as a novel efficient separation, purification and concentration technology, and among numerous membrane separation technologies, membrane distillation is increasingly paid more attention to 2016 and research by its unique advantages (such as availability of low-quality heat source, high rejection rate, simple equipment, mild and convenient operation conditions and the like) [ Wang Z, Hou D, Lin S, environ. Membrane distillation is a membrane separation process using steam pressure difference on two sides of a hydrophobic microporous membrane as a mass transfer driving force [ wuhuile, membrane distillation technology and application progress thereof, membrane science and technology, 2003, 23, 67-79 ]. Considering that the membrane for membrane distillation needs to be contacted with high-temperature brine having strong wettability, the microporous membrane used for membrane distillation should have high hydrophobicity. But is limited by the few kinds of traditional hydrophobic materials and the disadvantages of traditional membrane preparation processes (such as stretching method, phase inversion method, surface modification method, blending modification method and composite membrane method), and the prepared flat membrane and hollow fiber membrane have the defects of low porosity, low hydrophobicity and the like, so that the membrane pores are easy to wet and the water flux is low in the membrane distillation process. These disadvantages severely limit the development and large-scale industrial production applications of membrane distillation commercial membranes.
The nanofiber porous membrane prepared by the electrostatic spinning technology is widely applied to membrane distillation desalination, and has the characteristics of super-large surface area to volume ratio, high porosity, interconnected open pore structure and controllable membrane thickness [ Li D, Xia Y2004 adv. Mater 161151-70; yoon K, Hsiao B S, Chu B2008J. Mater. chem 185326-34 ], can effectively improve the defects that the membrane prepared by the traditional phase inversion method for membrane distillation has small porosity and the formed micropores are closed pore structures, and improve the water vapor flux of the membrane for membrane distillation, but the loose membrane structure also aggravates the problem that the membrane pores are easy to be wetted. Therefore, most of the nanofiber porous membranes prepared by the electrospinning technology need to build surface roughness by virtue of organic/inorganic particles and introduce a hydrophobic modifier with low surface energy, so that the anti-wettability of the nanofiber membrane is improved. These hydrophobic modifiers with low surface energy are expensive and can pollute the environment, which increases the preparation cost of the membrane for membrane distillation and seriously hinders the popularization and application of the membrane distillation technology in the field of seawater desalination.
In recent years, composite membranes prepared by constructing a hydrophobic skin layer on the surface of a porous support membrane by using cheap and easily available low-surface-energy polymer materials are more and more favored by researchers [ Shaulsky E, Nejati S, Boo C, Perreault F, Osuji C O, Elimelech, M2017 J.Membr.Sci 530158-. The polyolefin has the advantages of excellent corrosion resistance, water resistance, good mechanical strength, lower price and the like. The low-surface-energy polyolefin material is deposited on the surface of the nanofiber through a vacuum-assisted suction filtration method, the problem that the low-surface-energy material is difficult to process by a traditional membrane preparation method can be effectively avoided while various advantages of the nanofiber are achieved, the selection range of raw materials is expanded, the super-hydrophobic skin layer with the porous honeycomb structure is prepared, and compared with a traditional phase transition membrane and a common nanofiber membrane, the nanofiber porous membrane with the bionic structure characteristic can endow the separation membrane with more excellent performance. Aiming at the defects of the traditional membrane for membrane distillation, the nanofiber membrane with ultrahigh porosity, large surface area-to-volume ratio and mutually communicated open pore structure is prepared by using an electrostatic spinning method, and fluffy nanofibers are mutually connected to form a complete and uniform nanofiber porous membrane through hot pressing treatment, so that the porosity and the water vapor flux are improved; on the other hand, cheap and easily-obtained polyolefin materials are selected to be dissolved in a solvent at a high temperature and uniformly stirred, the mixture is cooled to different temperatures at a controllable cooling rate, a solvent-rich phase is removed under the external action force of a vacuum-assisted suction filtration method in combination with the principle that the polyolefin solution is in a thermodynamically unstable state and is easy to gel, a polymer-rich phase is deposited on the surface of the nanofiber membrane, and the nanofiber composite membrane with a porous structural skin layer on a microscale is constructed, so that the superhydrophobic property is presented macroscopically, and the anti-wettability problem of the membrane for membrane distillation in the operation process is improved.
